Sadie - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Homer Glen, Illinois

Meet Sadie!

If you're looking for a loyal little bestie with a heart full of love, Sadie may be your perfect match.

This adorable 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Terrier mix is as sweet as they come. With her beautiful red-and-cream coat, incredibly soft fur, and the most unique ears you've ever seen, Sadie turns heads wherever she goes. But it's her gentle personality that truly steals hearts.
Sadie is a calm, loving companion whose favorite place in the world is right by her people. Whether you're working from home, relaxing on the couch, or heading out for a walk, she's happiest simply being part of your day. She loves snuggling, enjoys leisurely walks, and is perfectly content curling up in her dog bed nearby when it's time to relax.

This wonderful girl is potty trained, non-destructive, walks beautifully on a leash, and is calm when meeting both people and other dogs. She's dog-friendly and currently lives peacefully with another small dog, though she tends to be politely uninterested in canine companionship. She is also great with children and happily lives with older kids in her foster home.

Sadie knows "sit" and "shake," greets visitors with calm manners. In fact, her foster family says she doesn't jump, lick, or bark. One of Sadie's funniest habits is following her humans to the kitchen like a tiny furry assistant, putting on her best hopeful face when human food is involved!

Sadie would thrive in a home that doesn’t have plans to crate her. She doesn't enjoy being crated and would prefer a safe, comfortable space to relax while her family is away. A work-from-home household or a family with a flexible schedule would be ideal.

Her foster family describes her as sweet, calm, adorable, loving, funny, cuddly, and quiet. What they'll miss most is her constant companionship and gentle presence. Sadie is the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter simply by being there. She has so much love to give and is ready to make one lucky family incredibly happy.

Could Sadie be the missing piece of your family?

*Sadie’s foster family will be going on vacation before Sadie’s medical required before adoption is completed. In an effort to move her as little as possible, we are in search of a foster to adopter that will help her finish her medical (spay, etc) at our vets, and then adopt her once it’s completed. (She is a healthy dog). Please apply and we can discuss further!*

The adoption fee for Sadie is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.
